The Adelaide housing market has been a relatively steady
performer, with dwelling values rising at a slightly higher pace than
inflation over the past several years. This has seen home values in
Adelaide increase by approximatively 12% since 2009. Positively,
transaction numbers have increased over the past year indicating
an improvement in buyer demand, despite relatively soft economic
conditions across the state. Rental yields remain higher than the
national capital city average, which may be attractive to prospective
investors attracted to Adelaide’s affordable housing stock and higher
yield profile.
